| TASTING NOTE: Bottled for just nine months at the time tasted, the 2003 Quinta Brunheda “Vinhas Velhas” [Old Vines] is coming around well, showing appropriate structure and excellent depth. It is full in the mouth on first presentation, softens, and then finishes with a considerable tannic hit. The mid-palate is rather elegantly constructed, and the texture has a nice feel of velvet. The flavor persists on the finish. The winemaker thinks this can start drinking well in a year, but I’d rather wait until 2008 or 2009. Drink 2008-2015. Score – 89.
